What this book is about
Amos Decker and his FBI colleague Alex Jamison visit Baronville, Pennsylvania — a former coal and steel town gutted by economic decline. While there, two people are murdered in the house next door. Decker investigates — and discovers that the dying town has a new economy built on something much darker than coal. The Fallen is the fourth Amos Decker novel.
